Your health failed. You lost a loved one. Your relationship collapsed. AI ended your career. It felt like your world was ending. But you survived the breakdowns. Each time, you pieced yourself back together.
But now you face something far more challenging: a world where meaning itself is breaking down.
Institutions are failing. The social fabric is being ripped apart. The old stories don’t work.
You’re not just navigating your individual life anymore. You’re navigating civilizational breakdown without a map.
What if your past breakdowns weren’t random suffering? What if they were training?
Crisis Codes reveals the hidden pattern inside every breakdown you’ve survived: your Crisis Code. Learn to read it, and you gain something rare: the ability to find signal in chaos, meaning in collapse.
This book isn’t about fixing yourself. You’re already whole. This is about becoming structurally prepared for a world that’s preparing for an evolutionary leap.
Your breakdowns and perceived failures were the training ground. The Meaning Crisis is why you needed them. The world needs your lived experience now more than ever. This book helps you unlock it so you can share it.
I once thought I was on top of the world. A tele-communications pioneer connecting humanity from space, living in sixteen cities on six continents, traveling to over 400 destinations, living the high life.
Then, on a Thai beach in 2004, burned out and with no sense of purpose, the future downloaded itself into me: visions of a world that worked for all.
I abandoned corporate security to spend a decade immersed in systems change, only to discover the devastating truth: the system cannot be changed. At least not while we remain coupled to a debt-based monetary system that demands infinite growth on a finite planet.
Now, with a Gen Alpha daughter coming of age in 2035, I’m architecting incentive systems that reward regeneration over extraction, ensuring the world she inherits is one we consciously created rather than unconsciously stumbled into.
Crisis Codes came to me as a download in 2025. It's a distillation of my life journey, with AI playing a guiding and structuring role.
I see civilization not as broken but as composting. Material Consciousness that enabled a necessary rapid physical growth is making an evolutionary leap into Mycelial Consciousness, where Framers frame entirely new worldviews.
I offer a focused, 90-day program that guides Framers through every stage of defining and building their solo Framing practice, ensuring purposeful income aligned with their life’s mission.
My mission is to inspire, educate, and support 1m Framers in creating extraordinary
purposeful, evolutionarily-coherent lives.
Non-fiction, covering a range of topics including Big History, Evolutionary Biology, Human Coordination and Incentives, and the Evolution of Entrepreneurship.
